The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that you secure your child for air travel
in an appropriate Child Restraint based on your child's weight and size. Turbulence can happen
with little or no warning. When turbulence occurs, the safest place for your child is in a properly
installed Child Restraint, not in an adult's lap or on the aircraft seat with its seat belt. Keeping
your child in a Child Restraint during the flight will help ensure your family arrives safely at your
destination.
The FAA recommends that a child weighing:
• more than 40 lbs (18 kg) use an aircraft seat belt;
• less than 20 lbs (9 kg) use a REARFACING Child Restraint; and
• from 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) use a FORWARDFACING Child Restraint.
Please note that these FAA recommendations may vary from those applicable to the use of your
Child Restraint in a motor vehicle.
NOTE: For more specific information, check your airline’s policies prior to flying.
